The Washington Bee The GreatRaceCongress THIRD ANNUAL SESSION OF THE NATIONAL RACE CONGRES HOLDS ENTHUSIASTIC OPENING VOL. XL. NO.19 Dr. W. H. Jernassin Makes a Strong Address—About 500 Delegates Are Present—Many Distinguished Men Among Representatives—Committee on Nomination of Officers Reports List of Officers. That the race is realizing the importance of getting together is demonstrated in the National Race Congress, which has been in session here during the week and has brought to Washington some of the most noted men and women of the race from all parts of the country. It has been an earnest crowd, not a mere curious number, but those who are seeking the truth and a desire to do something to change conditions. The sessions were held in the Metropolitan Baptist Church and opened Monday night with a sermon by Dr. E. A. P. Cheek, of Newark, N. J., the national chaplain. He based his discourse on the wise words of Solomon, "Righteousness exalteth a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Prov. 14:34. Among other things, he said: "For the sake of brevity, force and the value of time, as well as the worth of the gospel to this meeting, it becomes my high privilege to state here that this sermon, based upon this familiar and time-honored passage of God's word, reaches in all directions, points positively to the standards of human conditions, dispositions and power among men. You cannot see any middle ground; there is one thing or the other. There is either right or wrong; there is either good or bad; there is either high or low; there must be the clean or the unclean in human life. You will agree with us that it is timely in the strides of national life that we examine into the fundamentals of life that we might unravel the knotty questions that cause so much reproach, indignity, shame, violence and degraded practice among the people who clai miiltelligence, religion, wealth-power, productiveness in commercialism, 'League laws' at the same time debauched by lawlessness, human butchery and savage barbarity right under the flag of the nation. We say that it is timely that we look into the facts that admit such records of national power. The worst form of national life is division. It is unrighteous, dangerous and destructive. Religious divisions, civil divisions, political divisions, sectional divisions and racial divisions are the cancer-evils that are eating the vitals out of America's soul. The worst stain of sin today is the evil of division, and it is because the peoples of the earth have been left to ignore God's word. Many who did not ignore it have had the worst teaching that they could have had, for they have distorted the word. They heaped upon themselves doctrines and narrow forms of interpretation that caused them to be led off into delusions. "The sections of country that wink at crimes of the wicked guilty, allowing human slaughter and violence to law and order, will receive their reward of suffering, disease, famine and death. The whole body of lawmakers and executives who fail to mete out justice to all citizens upon the same-basis will have the reproach of shame, condemnation, guilty consciences, blood stain of the murdered and all the spots of vice upon their characters when they receive their reward at the bar of God." Congress Opened. Tuesday morning the formal opening of the Congress was, had at the Metropolitan Baptist Church; when Dr. W. H. Jernagin, the president; called it to order and the Rev. Dr. Bushell led the large audience in the singing of "America," which all but lifted the roof from the church. It was a case of a crowd of full-fledged Americans singing the national air of their own country. Then followed the opening prayer by Dr. Cheek and the introduction of Commissioner Louis Brownlow, who welcomed the delegates to the District of Columbia. Among other things, he said: "I am glad to welcome you here to the fourth annual session of the National Race Congress because you have no monopoly as a race on serious problems at this time. There are many serious problems with which the people of this country and the people of the world have to deal that there is little or no hope of procuring a peaceable, sensible and equitable solution to any of them unless they are attacked in detail by groups which have special interest in and special knowledge of them. Among the problems that are most serious and demand the deepest thought and most careful consideration and most prayerful consideration in our national life is the problem of adjustment of relations between white and colored races and the defining of methods by which the Negro population of the United States may go forward, may progress and may come into the fullness of what all true, earnest Christian patriots shall think of them. "It Is your business particularly to address yourselves to that problem because you are more interested and know more about it, and, as I said in the beginning, somebody has to give special attention to each one of these problems. If there is a greater problem than this in the country, it is the problem of the relation between capital and labor in our industrial life, and there is meeting now in this city, called by the President of the United States, which opened yesterday, a great industrial conference which is addressing itself to that particular problem." Architect J. A. Lankford, representing the local unit, extended welcome to the delegates. "I am not here this morning to discuss racial issues," he said, "but to welcome you to our city, our homes, our places of business, our churches and our common cause, to the Capital of the Nation. We welcome you because we know at this time the darker races of the world should come together and discuss ways and means to down racial prejudice, caste and discrimination in all forms." The keys of the Metropolitan Baptist Church were turned over to the convention by M. K. King, one of the officers and members of that church. His address of welcome was unique and interesting. He said that there were 114 church organizations among the race in Washington, one bank, one hospital, one insurance company, excellent lawyers and good physicians, many liverymen, funeral directors and hundreds of people in all the professions and callings of life who "all join in this welcome," he said. "And I assure you that we are glad to have you in our midst." To all the addresses Dr. W. H. Stokes, of Richmond, Va., responded. He spoke of the accomplishments of the race, the services rendered the Government. "And," he said, "in view of our record, we are here asking the nation to perform its sacred obligation to the race by seeing that we have the full protection of life and liberty, and in the pursuit of happiness. We realize that we must agitate until the citadels of segregation and discrimination against race on account of color shall be overturned and demolished; until in every nook and corner of this land the race shall have the essential justice accorded any other American citizen." In the remarks of Bishop I. N. Ross, the vice president, there was a strong condemnation of wrong, injustice and a plea for right and justice. WASHINGTON, D.C. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11, 1919 THE FEDERAL CONFERENCE ON THE AMERICAN REPUBLIC. for all American citizens. The manhood rights of the colored citizens were pictured in strong language. The bishop was himself, and spoke out in church. His address was punctuated with outbursts of applause. "We are in need of manly leaders," he said, "and we must, by Divine direction, select our leaders. We refuse to follow hand-picked leaders selected by others simply because they can be used like a rubber stamp. We want men who will stand up in a manly way and contend for the rights of our people and not simply do what the white man tells them to do. "We are in no position to resort to extreme Socialistic, Anarchistic or Bolshevistic methods in the adjustment of our racial matters. Such methods are un-American and will be destructive. Let us go up to the altar and get right with God. Let God lead us. Start right, and we will end right. The great peace conference opened without invoking the blessings of God. He was left out of it. "While our men were in France fighting for world-wide democracy to make the world a safe place in which to live, men were chased through the streets right here in this city and an attempt made to lynch one at the White House gate. God help us to get right at home. Make human life safe in this country." The session was full of interest, and many things happened. The crowd had greatly increased at the afternoon session. Following an interesting song service, Dr. W. H. Jernagin, the president, delivered his annual address, which was full of information and inspiration. He pointed out the evils to be righted, the wrongs to be corrected and showed the race its part in the solution of the vexed problems. The keynote of his whole address was the ballot in the hands of all American citizens in all parts of the country with which to protect their rights. He struck jim-crewism a blow between the two eyes, in fact, he was opposed to segregation or discrimination of any kind. "I shall not recount the horrors and barbarities against our people," he said, "because they are fresh in your minds. But I do say, before God, that they must cease. The redemption of sin requires the shedding of innocent blood, and the sins of this nation will be deeper than scarlet if bloodshed be the measure. There is a limit of endurance to oppression and inhumanity, and that limit has been reached by my brothers whose forebears have been tortured by lash, rack, pyre, rope and every other invention of inhumanity for the past 300 years." Dr. Jernagin told about his trip to France, his contact with the brave soldiers who had fought to protect the honor of America and that Old Glory might ever float over the land of the free and the home of the brave. The information was of special interest to those who heard him. During the delivery of the address Bishop I. N. Ross presided, and then followed the introduction of one of the foremost men of the race, Bishop Charles Spencer Smith, of Detroit, Mich., one of the pioneers, a man who had fought the battles of the race for fifty years. He delivered a strong address. Wednesday night was a big time in the congress, and some able addresses were delivered. The first speaker was the Rev. T. J. Goodall, of Savannah, Ga., representing the interests of the race from that section, and he declared that he came from the best city in Georgia, a place where the members of his race stood on manhood and were neither paupers nor beggars and were putting over some things which were considered a credit to the city.

He declared that in all parts of the country a white man was a white man and a Negro was a Negro, and there would be found prejudice, even in Boston; the hub of civilization of America. Bishop G. W. Clinton, of Charlotte, N. C., representing the A. M. E. Zion Church and a stronger leader of the race, made an able address. The closing talk of the evening was made by the Rev. Dr. W. W. Lucas, of Meridian, Miss. The committee to which was referred the president's address eliminated certain recommendations and referred others to the executive committee. At the morning session, after a preliminary skirmish, W. H. Harrison, sometimes called "Judge," from Oklahoma, rose to a point of order and said that whatever was in the minutes contrary to the constitution could be adopted anyway. Bishop I. N. Ross, who was presiding at the time, decided that his point of order was well taken. Manager S. H. Dudley, of the Dudley U Street Theatre and the MidCity Theatre, and Andrew J. Thomas, of the Howard Theatre, left the city last week for Atlanta, Ga., Florida and other Southern points, on theatrical business. Mr. Thomas will spent a few days with his sister, Mrs. Hightower.

Some Interesting Things—Human Vultures—The Moens Case—Why Some Men Signed the Petition to Remove Bruce. Before the Parents' League at the Shiloh Baptist Church, Monday, September 29, Miss Florence M. Hunt, a gifted orator and thinker, delivered the following address: When I first heard that there was going to be organized in Washington an organization for the purpose of uplifting the moral, social and educational conditions in our public schools, I shouted for joy, as all of my friends know, for I suddenly became the happiest person in the whole of Washington city. For many years I have been deeply realizing the intense need of the establishment of such an organization in Washington, and I have talked with many women in this town with this thought in view. On my first interview with the mothers, they all agreed that something should be done and that my ideas were good, but after talking it over with their husbands that night, on my second interview with them, they had somewhat changed their minds. The following is an idea of the statements I received on my second visit to these mothers' homes: "I think that your ideas are good, Miss Hunt; but they are not practical. John, or Henry, or Will," referring to their husbands in each case, "says that it would not be wise for us to take part in such procedure, for if we should fail in our attempt to change the present demoralizing conditions, our children coming up in the schools would have to suffer in the future; revenge would be wreaked upon them, and they would not receive appointments in the Washington schools." Some of the women who had no children explained that it would affect the status of their sister, or their brother, or even the status of a foreign relative, for them to have a hand in amending the tactics of our present school system. One woman hinted that it was not even wise in Washington to be seen too often in the company of any opponents of the present school system, if any remuneration, directly or indirectly, was coming from the system to that party. So you clearly see that in each of these three statements the "economic" side of the question presents itself. These three statements represent the thought of the greatest issue of the weaknesses of peoples, not to act at the proper time. These three statements represent a lack of moral courage on the part of the individuals who had previously confessed that they agreed with my ideas for the great necessity of a general reform in the public school system of Washington. Reformation in the Schools. Some wives whom I talked with, and some single women as well, also heartily indorsed my thoughts of the growing need for a general reformation in the schools; but they took the stand that to be antagonistic with the present ruling system as it exists today would make them unpopular and affect their social standing in the community. Thus the social phase of the question comes into play. This class of individuals lacked the moral courage to put in operation what they believed should be done for fear of jeopardizing their social standing. Still others whom I sought in vain dismay heartily endorsed my entire plan, but, like the two classes of our former endorsers, were inclined to refrain from participating in the launching of this much-needed movement for fear of the politics "compulsory" to be involved before a position could be obtained in the Washington school system. This third class of individuals candidly admitted that at present they had a few friends who were in a position to help them secure appointments for their children when they became old enough to seek such appointments, but if they were to be instrumental in helping the present school system to be changed, that they might not have any new friends with sufficient influence with the new system to secure these appointments for their children; and then they would lose out entirely. Thus, you see, with this third class of individuals, the political situation presents itself. Politics is being played both from within the school system and from without in order to secure positions within. This class of people had no particular friends in power with the present school system, but they confessed that they had friends outside of the school system who had the power to wield influence with the reigning royalty within; thus these individuals lacked the moral courage to even take a chance on the inauguration of a new school system—so bitter had been the revenge of the present ruling forces—so cruel the verdicts of their hearings. The day has at last come when my pleading and my prayers have been answered. Although none of the mothers in Washington would rally to my cause, when the time arrived that the schools of our city were WEST WASHINGTON. Rev. Dr. Jaems L. Finn, pastor of the First Baptist, Church, West Washington, has been appointed professor of Bible history in the School of Religion of Howard University. PROGRESS OF THE COLORED AMERICAN. Westerville, Ohio, October 1.—From this time forward one of the most important departments of the Anti-Saloon League of America, its officials say, will be the home missionary work. This work will be done among not only the foreign-speaking element of the United States, but also among other large classes, including Negroes. The Negroes of America own 20,000,000 acres of land, 500,000 homes, 64 banks, 398 newspapers and periodicals and 31,393 churches worth about $26,000,000. There are 4,000 Negro physicians in the United States, 2,000 Negro lawyers and 1,000 trained Negro nurses; 750,000 Negroes have migrated into the Northern States from the South since 1916. It is quite likely, in the opinion of League men, that a special department will handle the work of the Negroes. Prohibition in the Southern States, it is agreed by both white and colored men, has been of inestimable benefit to the Negroes. Speaking recently, L. B. Musgrove, prominent banker and planner of Alabama, said: "Prohibition has done such wonders for the Negroes of my State that if it were left to them alone to decide, sahous, would never come back to Alabama." After West Virginia had been carried "dry" several years ago, it was discovered that if all the whites had remained home and not voted at all, except the wet whites, the dry Negroes cast a majority sufficient to carry the State. Nevertheless, League men say they have too much neglected the Negro work, especially in the cities, where the Negroes are not so progressive in the matter of prohibition as their brethren in rural communities and States. In the plan of the Anti-Saloon League to raise $50,000,000 in addition to its regular finances, there is a budget for a considerable sum to be devoted to the Negro work. Detroit 33 H Street, N. E.

During the week activities at the Community Hut, Seventh street and Florida avenue northwest, have attracted large numbers. Over 1,500 soldiers, sailors and ex-service men have visited there during the last seven days. The corps of workers down there are always striving to bring about something new to interest those who take advantage of the opportunity to visit the War Camp Club. On Wednesday night last a very interesting, and instructive movie show was staged. The attendance was very good. After the movies, dancing was the center of attraction until 11 p.m. when everybody went home saying that they had spent a most pleasant evening. Saturday night was the occasion of another dance, which was more largely attended than the one before. This is a feature that has made the younger set flock to the community center in great numbers. It gives our service men an excellent opportunity to get away from the cares of the service and to meet some of our nice young girls, who are always willing to lend a helping hand in behalf of the soldier or sailor boy. It is really a pleasure to be around the dance floor and see how the poor, invalid, and crippled boys from Walter Reed Hospital enjoy the others dancing, even though most of them are in such condition that they can not participate in the dancing themselves. Every Thursday afternoon, under Mrs. Layton's directions, these boys are given long automobile rides, and they enjoy them so much. Thursday night is the real men's night, for some cracking good athletic programs are pulled off. Last Thursday night there were two good wrestling matches and one boxing match that drew out a big following. Plans are on foot now for basketball and other indoor sports for the winter months.

Thousands of others, like yourself, finally turned to using Secby's Quinade, and have been so pleased with the result they would never again waste their time or money using anything else. Quinade is not an ordinary pomade; it is highly medicated and is a real scalp food. Quinade stimulates and nourishes the roots of the hair, causing a natural growth of long, straight hair. It will make coarse, stubborn hair soft and silky, and easy to put up in the style desired. Quinade will positively allay itching of the scalp; and dandruff, which is the real cause of most hair and scalp troubles. To get best results from the use of Quinade, one should shampoo the scalp every two weeks with Secby's Quonasoap, a soap made entirely of pure vegetable oils. Quinasoap lathers very freely and is a thorough cleanser. It leaves the hair soft and fluffy and imparts a refreshing feeling to the scalp unequaled by any other shampoo. Insist on getting Seeby's' Quinade and Quinasoap, asking for them by their full name. Price is 25 cents each. If your druggist or dealer does not stock these two articles, ask him to obtain them from his wholesaler for you, or send us the price and we will mail them to you direct.

F, Boston secretary. It was an enthusiastic meeting of the people, who-did nof fail to express their in- dignation at the recent: decision: of the Board’ of Education in the, Brucé case. Every available ‘space in thé church was occupied and many were unable ‘to obtain’ seats.’ “ Attorney R. R. Horner was the-first speaker, who paid his respects to Learned, Mrs. Caroline Cooke and Dr. Van Schaick, ‘These members of the Board of Ed- ucation neéd not. think twenty -thou- and ot more people will quietly: sub- mit to their official :acts. Corre- spondent R. W. Thompson made-a good speech, Rey. Pin... Rev. Jar- vis and Charles S. Hill spoke. At the conclusion of Rev. Jarvis’. re- marks, Dr. C. M. ‘Tanner was intro- duced amidst applause, and he “de- clared that he never had any faith in Dr. Van Schaick; that his conduct in the Bruce case is no surprise to him and if he thinks that ‘his. white- wash-report will help: him, he is_inis- taken. At this juncture Dr. Star Parsons entereil-the cliurch, and the two thousand people, with one ac- claim waved handkerchiefs and.many stood. up to give their friend a hearty welcome. - Dr. Tanneg, refer- ring to Dr: Parsons, said that he would give way, but the people cried out and told him to go’ ahead.- Dr. ‘Tanner ‘then’ offered the following resolutions, which were unanimously adopted, except for one vote recorded against them, an dthis individual wa: a spy forthe enemy. He was point ed ‘out by Prof, Andersor, who wa: a victim of treachery. ” The preamble and: resolution by Dr. C. M. Tanner which were adopt ed are as follows: * * Whereas, the Board of Education of the District of Columbia, by a se cret’ investigation touching the. edi cation and administrative ability of the Assistant ‘Superintendent of Col- ored. Schools, Roscoe C, Bruce, has .adopted the niajority report ‘of the special committee, exonerating the said - Assistant Superintendent and declaring that they ‘find ‘him. compe- tent and‘ adapted to the work com- mitted ‘to him; and ‘Whereas the majority of the Board of Education from-the first time they were approached with facts proving ‘the unfitness of Mr. Bruce and peti- tioning his removal by more “than 20,000 parents, members. of the Pa rents’ League of this-.city, we, hav been treated with indiffererice,. delay misrepresentations and contempt: ‘Therefore, we most solemnly pro test “against thé investigation anc findings of the Board as being re stricted to a field far from ow charge and as heing contrary to law and_evidence. To prove this,"let facts be submit. ted to-a candid world: ‘The’ investi- gation was secret, when.any Feal de- sife to ascertain the: truth would have ‘led to a. public investigation. The Assistant Superintendent is a public official, paid by, thé people. As such his official acts are for pub- lic investigation. “To consent to a secret investigation is to plead guilty Of'a desire to cloak and’ cover his official conduct. ‘The investigation, as announcéd, .was’ not to inquire otherwise into his fitness for the place. As an official in the public school system, no ‘matter what -his ability might otherwise be, if-he were deficient along moral lines, “his ef- fectiveness must ‘cease. ‘The moral issue; we Were told, was to be ig- nored, when it: stiotld have been foremost. J No public notice of ‘immunity was promised to, the teachers whose ‘evi- dence would"have been determinative in any genuine investigation. Hence they would ‘hesitate: to come ‘before the committee, fearing they might be made to feel thé wrath.of Mr. Bruce. At least one ‘intember was placed on the investigation committee who: had “already hoth-formed. and ex- pfessed an opiriion’as to the inno- cence Of Mr, Bruce, declaring ‘that not under any’ circitmstances, would that vote"be cast against him. An- other. member’ of the committee is a fellow-alumnus of the. acctised. "The united voice of over 20,000 pa- rents and’ taxpayers ‘in “this city has cither been ignored or treated with scant courtesy. * ‘The Board, in reaching its decision, ‘did not wait to hear either, the ma- jority or minority report’ read.’ So anxious and determined were they to exonerate’ the Assistant’ Superin- tendent that neither the majority nor the minority of the cominittee was given time to’set forth the. reasons why: they Yiad arrived, at the conclu- sion. they presented. ‘The Moens scandal, the ‘slush-fund letter, favoritism, administrative in- ficiency and such like mattérs have been entirely ignored. | Untest; dissatisfaction and. disor- ganization are apparent in all branch- es of the public schoo!’ system, ‘The Assistant Superintendent io longer has cither the respect or the confi- dence ‘of the majority of the parents, pupils or teachers, We arc “forced. to’ the conclusion that the Board of Education ig more anxious to ‘save ‘Mr. Bruce than. to preserve and advance the’ colored schools in the District of Columbia. We, therefore, representing more! than 20,000 parents of Washington, in regular ‘session’. of the Parents’ League assembled, as did the found- ers*of the nation, appealing ‘to the Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude -of our intention,- do’ sol- emnly declare that for the ‘welfar of the young colored boy and’ gir of this community, we shall neve cease our efforts until he is separate from tthe systei, We appeal -to th Board of Education to see its erfo }and repair the -wrong, done us by sexine to retain so: unfit an official We appeal to the judges of the Su preme Court, to Congress, to the Board of Trade; to every right-think ing man and woman of every race variety in this’ nation, to the parents of the-children and to Almighty: God to aid us’in our struggle. : We ask, finally, that the. testimony in the secret investigation’ be made public. . The’ friends. of Mr. Bruce can ask nothing less, the Parents League asks no more. Editor, W. Calvin Chase arose and asked permission to make a motion. He was invited to the stage amidst applause. He stated that he was present to offer a motion which he thought was for the best interests of the volored childéen in the grades; that there was an educational con- spiracy against the children in the public “schools, and he was: here to warn them of the danger that con- fronts them; * Mr: Chase then stated that: the Junior “High School, recently inau- gurated, was an educational conspir- acy and a menace to the children in the grades and that he moved that the Parents’ League’ request all chil- dren, who have ‘made ‘application -to be transferred from the eighth grade to the Junior High School to make application to be transferred back to the grades, and that thé, parents of children who. attend . the , public schools instruct them not to go to the Junior High School. 3 Mrs. Tanner put the motion to the house, and it, .was unanimously adopted; with the exception, of the vote of one of the enemy’s-satellites. "Dr. Parsons spoke about dhe hour, ind throughont his address he kept he audience in laughter. He paid his respects to Bruce and was sur- prised to know -that President Van Schaick was not a friend of the col red people; that he had talked with 2 very prominerit gentleman, who aid that theré must ‘be something vrong in the*colored schools and if he Parents’ Teague or any reputable ‘itizens would file with Congress afti- lavits setting forth the truth of their ontention, something -would be, lone, ‘Mrs. ‘Tanner assured the peo-| le that she had- affidavits in her pos- ession and that others: would be mmediately prepared. “The meeting diourned, determined. to carry. the ght to Congress.

M.| Ganngr, wie present pastor. of the | Moyouutan AL MITEL Chmreh of) Washington, De C. A new pastor has | now arisen to preside’ in our great sanctuary who knows no being by his’ creed, color, sex or: caste. “Human beings are, only known to this strong, courageous. pastor by merit ‘and prin- ciple. ‘Thus, actifig on -the premises of a principle, the conclusion deducted could be nothing but 2 principle; hence, we have had spring-up in our midst’ an ‘institution known as. the Parents’ League, which has’ selected for its alia mater “Morality, right eousness and justice.” ig Parents’ League's" New System. The Patents’ League will ‘establish. a new school system in the public schools of Washington, ‘D. G.).and by so doing it’ will establish .a ‘general new system of society. in Washington city, since it is around our present school system’ that the present’ so- cicty in Washington revolves.’ And when’ this new system is established, no one need fear that she or he\ will not get what. she or he may merit, because they may not have a persdnal friend within the system’who can Help them or a personal friend-without the system who is in the position to wield influence over someone in power, with: in the new School. system to force him or'to force’her to-do their duty’ as a teacher, a supervisor, a director or a superintendent, Neither will any employce in the nev system have, to wield any influence to be given a pro- motion.

Acts. |. 1 promised to tell you tonight something of the human vultures in \See high schools.’ It will be needless for me to go into the détails of the: difficulties which T encounteréd with |the public school system of Washing- ton, D. C, as there have been many numerous cases similar to mine: ~Suf- |fice ik te say that I elected. to’ take a \cotirse “in, drawing which would pre- jpare: and qualify me to become a jdrawing feacher in the public schools. {When I ‘started out to ‘pursue this course, { did not know that the course ‘had been introduced into- the schools through a fight between officials and teachers and:that-it was simply a mat- ter of time that would. tell’ which class of school employee could wield more influence—the. official or the teacher.. 1 was.totally unaware of the fact that 1 was stepping.into a death- trap, this is, a trap which would be likely to prove, and which did finally prove. tbe “death” to “me as a teacher in the publi schools. Tt was plainly .evidenced in this particular, battle that the teacher wielded more atnachse than the olficit, Mr Bruce. So-piain was the outevine of my ease that Mr. “Brice has’ since, told me. that he was not the cause of my’ fail-: ute ty be eligible for, appoigtment as Jt teacher in the Washington schools, what he was 2 itignd to me all the ‘way throayh the fight; Concerning: ius particular assertion of Mr. Bruce tv me, TE expect to comment on, it at! fa iter date and show you how, grant-| ing Me. Bruce's statement to be true, | the: Parents’ League ‘is the only real | iriend:which he has, . ' While supposed ‘to’ be, pursuing. this! “drawing “course.” which turned cut instead to be an “observation course,” there\ were many things of interest which\f observed in-the high schools. Instead of being instructed in. the theory ‘and practice of drawing, dur- ing an \ntire semester, while under the supe vison’ -of thé director of drawing, }\was told to go from schoo! to school \and observe. the ~ drawing: teachers instruct their classés., Dur- ing this entire semester of my course I wag'not given any instruction’ for a single day of ‘this semester, although at the expiration of this semester I was given an examination in draw- ing, which, lasted twelve consecutive school days, covering a period of three weeks, in work which. I” did not even know-éxisted in the ‘course. No time has ever yet been allotted to me by the-director of diawing to discuss any’ of the interesting sights which'I observed on my “observation tour” through thé schools—all:he told me to do was to observe. Tonight will be the first opportunity’ I have. ever.had given me’to‘narrate and dis- cuss anything which I-observed while on this tour, when a pupil:in Myrtilla Miner Normal School. Miss. Hunt-then related some-ques- tionable acts on the part of. male teachers and female pupils which she claimed were only a few of the things withessed and heard in the high schools at the: time. she attended, which the vast audience listened to with a greedy. ear. * . Continuing, she said: I think that these examples will suffice-to let the members of the Pa- rents’ League see what a necessary fight ‘we have on hand. Is it any wonder that-Moens had little difficulty in getting a’ hearing in our public schodls, with the ground previously so well fertilized by the black Moens?} These*human vultures have been at work. for some time in our. schools and in our community: These things I observed occurred about two years prior to the advent of. whité Moens into our city. This wickedness’ has been going on all the time between professors in the high schools and there belle pupils. When a child leaves home in’ the ‘morhing from furider the ‘tare and: protection of its parents,. immediately: on arriving, at schoal the teacher takes the place of the parent and is supposed to give that child when in the class ‘room the samé. kind of ‘protection which the aap cca EY ignated anc AR aca for the “same offenses? No! ‘The kind ‘of punishment which these pro- fessors’ administered encouraged the offense, and it was given to encour- age the offense, as applause usually is. The offenses were only ‘commit- ted ‘because the offenders knew that| the crime was welcomed by these professors. Now, if the high schools of our. city are so unsafe for our girls arrivitig at the adolescent. stage that these male professors, .. who should discourage, rather than en- courage any pert talk advanced by a forward girl, are not capable of prop- erly guiding these pupils entrusted to their care during the periods of the day when they are at school, then such:professors and officials. who have been exemplified by the illustrations given, should ‘not. be .given charge over either our boys or our girls. ~ When I observed these lamentable conditions, I wished that I could: be the lady principal of both high schools. for just one week. If I were, I would break up that cdngregating in rooms for long periods of time, both, during study, hours and, after school ee ‘The special “department rooms. and science labordtories’ are the aie sources for the generating of this vie. ax in these rooms there are seldom! any recititions going on, and the: pu- pils, having less ‘cause “for conceittra~ tion, coniinially turn aside to con verse with casual stray callers, both male and ferale, who ate in search of some iorm of entertainment. Again, these special departments and labora- tories are usually located of the top Noors of the buildings. Because of the, kind of work carried on in these special departments, as well as be- cause of their distant location from! the principals’ offices and from the| regular recitation roo:ns on the lower Noors of thé building, much vice’ is engaged in, which tould otherwtse not be casy of accomplishment. The laboratories and special department Yooms are the regular mevting places wher thé professors from all over the rest of the building. congregate 10 réad and help" post the “daily ‘so- ciety. bulletin” of the “belles” of the high Schools and the “beau profes- sors.” If the lady principal or even 2 female instruciot happens, to come long. during the course of these pert conversations, you: should) just see ‘hem all scampering off to their rooms ike mice running away to their hid= ing places.” Bat, like the mobs which]. formed, during the time of the riot] and* were dispersed each.time at the| sight of the ‘cavalry, as soon as the}, racks of this female teacher are’ cold,} right back again-to their posts of] duty do they go, as the mob again]! gathered. Therefore, some perma- nent rules have got to be.mad¢ and enforced in these schools in order ‘to permanently eradicate this condition.

They have a tuberous root and an erect annual stem from 2 to 5 feet high, linear leaves and flowers sensible, and of bright purple color. It can be found throughout the United States and from New England to Wisconsin. These plants are-wonderful tonics and stimulants and very useful in gonorrhea, glet, kidney disorders as well as urinary diseases. As a gargle for sore throat, it has many advantages. Boneset.—It grows in low grounds, on borders of swamps and streams throughout the United States, flowering in August and September. Water will extract its virtue, hence it is easily made into tea. It is a very valuable medicinal agent. The cold infusion or extract is tonic and aperient, the warm infusion diaphoretic and emetic. As a tonic it is very useful in remittent, intermittent and typhoid fevers, dyspepsia and general debility. In intermittent fevers a strong infusion, as hot as can be comfortably swallowed, is administered for the purpose of vomiting freely. In epidemic influenza the warm infusion is valuable as an emetic and diaphretic, likewise in febrile diseases, catarrh, colds and wherever such effects are indicated. Black Root.-The flowers are white, nearly sessile and very numerous. Calyx, four-parted, corrola small and nearly white, stems two. The fruit is a many-seeded capsule. This plant is found in good condition in limestone countries only. It is often discovered in new soils, in moist woods and swamps, but its medicinal virtues are feeble, excepting when found where there is limestone. The root is the part used. It is gathered in the fall of the second year. The fresh root should never be used, as it is very violent and uncertain in its operations. The dry root is laxative, cholagogue and tonic and very much used in chronic and hepatic diseases. Blood Root-It grows throughout the United States, in shaded woods and thickets and rich soils generally. It flowers from March to June, although the whole plant is medicinal, the root is the part mostly used. It presents a beautiful appearance when cut and placed under a microscope, seeming like an aggregation of minute precious stones. The actions of blood root vary according to administrations. In small doses it stimulates the digestive organs, acting as a stimulant and tonic. In large doses it is an arterial sedative. It is useful in bronchitis, laryngitis, whooping cough and other affections of the respiratory organs. Americans generally entertain a feeling of good will toward Ireland. This is due to appreciation of the men from the Emerald Isle who have come in large numbers to our shores. We like the Irish wit, the Irish independence, the Irish large-heartedness. But does this feeling of good will entitle us at the present time to banquet the president of the fictitious Irish republic, to have American delegates knock at the door of the Paris conference in behalf of the Sinn Feiners, and to have the Senate of the United States listen to fiery speeches and pass resolutions of sympathy with the seceders? There are several reasons why we ought not at the present time to take too serious notice of the Irish movement. I shall no more than mention the fact that it is doubtful if the English Government's treatment of Ireland warrants the dismembership of the British Isles and the setting up of a new republic just off the shores of England; the fact of the grave religious question that is involved in the struggle; the fact of the opposition of Ulster to such a program; and the question whether Ireland under self-government would be as well off as she is at present, or will be under the new measures England proposes. Ireland Divided. The points I wish to make are the following: following: Ireland is itself divided on the policy which the British Government should exercise concerning her. The new republic does not represent the self-determination of her people but only a considerable fraction thereof. We ought not to receive the new president of the Sinn Fein movement as if he were the representative of a people united in a demand for liberty and having achieved an independent government. The hand of Great Britain still holds the reins in Ireland, and a considerable section of the country wants it to continue in its control. There is much truth in the London Chronicle's statement that the Irish question has become largely "an issue not between England and Ireland, but between Irishmen and Irishmen." An Internal Question. The Irish question is an internal question with Great Britain, and, therefore, one with which we have no right to interfere. Our Senate has been much disturbed over the League of Nations because it seems to some of its members that the constitution does not sufficiently protect this country from interference by other nations in its internal affairs; and yet these very Senators have offered resolutions and discussed the Irish question as if it were an international problem. We have even permitted a committee of Irish-Americans to visit Ireland and send home what has been proved to be very partial and highly colored reports, and to demand of our commissioners at Paris that they insist that the Peace Conference take up the Irish question. But worse than this, the so-called president of this so-named Irish republic, Dr. Valera, is now in this country and is being received with the honor and enthusiasm of the head of a real government. Mayors of cities are introducing him with extravagant words of praise and recognizing him officially as if the fictitious Irish republic were a recognized state. All this is a most serious breach of courtesy toward an allied nation; indeed, it is much more—it is an affront that not many nations would tolerate. The London Morning Post, in discussing the vote of the United States Senate, said: "There, is no other country in the world where such a deliberate and authoritative affront to a friendly power would be offered. Judged by all standards of international comity and decorum, it is indefensible." It certainly would stir the blood of Americans, if some representative of a foreign power, say Japan, were to make a journey to the Philippine Islands and try to stir up the people to throw off allegiance to the United States and publish reports of misgovernment and oppression. The Negro Problem: It needs to be remembered by our Senators who are so stirred over the misgovernment in Ireland that we have problems that they might better attend to at home. England's treatment of the Irish does not hold a candle to our treatment of the Negro. We have deprived him of his constitutional rights, we have treated him as a member of an inferior race, we have denied him the use of our hotels, put him on the back seats of our street cars, made him ride in a "jim-crow car," given him little chance for justice in the courts and strung him up to trees and lampposts without the opportunity to be heard or his guilt to be proved. We have gone far beyond this by barbarously burning him at the stake with a cruelty unworthy of savages. If anyone should hold meetings among the Negroes pointing out their wrongs and urging some kind of united action, he would receive the same treatment that the Negro has received. Especially would the country be stirred to the limit, if some foreign parliament or senate should pass resolutions about our oppression and mistreatment of the Negro; and if it should permit a delegation to visit this country and send home reports of our political intimidations, social discriminations and lynchings, we would demand an apology or perhaps declare war. The point we wish to make is that Ireland is a British and not an American problem. We have no right officially to interfere with England's internal affairs. Her treatment of Ireland may have been a failure. But for the United States to take a hand in the matter so purely internal; for us to welcome the so-called president of a republic not established with open arms and extravagant ecologies, is at best a very unwise and discourteous attitude to take toward a friendly power.
